2 General information Information about the organization Owner of the EPD: Swedish wood Contact person: Mikael Eliasson Phone: + 46 (0) mikael.eliasson@svenskttra.se Place of production: Sweden About the organisation This environmental product declaration presents the average performance of sawn timber from Sweden by members of Swedish Wood. Swedish wood is a department within The Swedish Forest Industries Federation and supported by the Swedish sawmill and glulam industries. Swedish Wood spreads knowledge provides inspiration and encourages development relating to wood, wood products and wood construction. Following companies has contributed with data and enabled this branch EPD: BergkvistInsjön plants, Derome, Hedins, Holmen, Ingarp, JGA, Martinsons, Moelven, NKL trä, Norrskog, Rödins trä, SCA, Setragroup, Stora Enso, Sveden trä, Södra skogsägarna plants and Vida plants. Product information Product name: Swedish sawn dried timber of spruce or pine. Product description: Sawn dried timber is produced in Sweden by members of Swedish Wood. The sawn dried timber is used as raw material in planed wood production. The raw material used in production is Swedish logs Dried sawn timber has an average density of 455kg/m 3 and a moisture content of 16 %. Sawn dried timber of spruce has an average density of 470 kg/m 3 and 440 kg/m 3 for pine. The moisture content for the dried wood is about 1218%. UN CPC code: 311 Geographical scope: Sweden LCA information Declared unit: 1 m 3 of Swedish sawn dried timber of spruce or pine with a moisture content of 16 %. Representativeness: This study cover 58 % of the total sawn softwood timber in Sweden. Input are collected from 44 sawmills and cover the production of m 3 sawn dried timber. Data to produce sawn wood is collected from a representative selection of sawmills in Sweden and weighted to an average. These data represent the year 2016 and includes raw material, transport distances, fuels, emissions, energy consumption, delivered goods, byproducts, waste and purchases (Bohlin et. al, 2018). Data from Ecoinvent 3.4 has been used for generic data. The allocation is performed according to EN15804:2012, Physical, economic and energy allocation have been used. The economic values are collected from the Swedish energy agency and Danske bank and the physical is based on mass from an average sawmill. PAGE 2/9

3 Database(s) and LCA software used: SimaPro and Ecoinvent 3.4 System diagram: A1 Raw material supply Included: Raw material for construction of sawmill. Raw material for the construction of vehicles for transport and work machines and road maintenance. Extraction of timberforestry including harvesting, thinning, planting, forest roads, etc. Extraction of all other raw materials, energy and fuels required in production or in the production of materials consumed in production. Excluded: Raw materials to produce chemicals consumed in smaller quantities are excluded. A2 Transport Included: Transport of timber to sawmills. Transport of consumables to sawmills. For timber transport, transportation of consumables to sawmills, waste transportation and internal work vehicles a fair share for the manufacture and maintenance of vehicles and infrastructure are included. Internal transport and handling of work machined in the sawmill area. Removal of produced waste. Excluded: Personnel transport outside the sawmill area is not included. A3 Manufacturing Included: Excluded: Production of sawed products including barking, sawing, drying and sorting as well as packaging. Personnel space/office or purchase of tools or workwear are not included. Description of system boundaries: Cradle to gate. More information: Average transport distance from felling site to sawmill is 100km and the raw logs have an average density of 882kg/m 3. If the sawn dried timber has a longer lifetime than 100 years it is possible to include the carbon biogenic storage for the global warming potential. Forestry takes approximately 100 years in Sweden from seed to harvest. Biogenic carbon storage is 715kg CO 2 /m 3. PAGE 3/9

Content declaration Product The product does not contain any substances or products that are listed in the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorisation. Packaging For the sawmills that do not have further processing in the area, plastic bands, plastic caps or metal tapes are used for distribution. Recycled material No recycled materials are used in the product. PAGE 4/9
